n1056 Family Celebration

nWang Wei did not have to wait long as a few months later, his mother secretly visited him. Her time was ready, and she was stressed about the upcoming event. Wang Wei reassured her by preaching Existence to her, and this approach immensely helped Yu Yan feel more confident.

nThen, the day finally arrived. While Yu Yan prepared in the Yu Clan, Wang Wei, Wang Tian, and Wang Chang watched everything from a screen in the court.

n

"Do you think she will be okay?'

" asked Wang Tian, walking back and forth to the point his father became annoyed and smacked him in the back of his head to stop. According to the old man, his jittering made him more nervous, so he had to stop.

nWang Wei, who was trying to keep himself from laughing, said with difficulty,

"She's fine. After all, don't you know who she gave birth to?

"

n

"Are you praising her or yourself?

" asked Wang Tian, rolling his eyes.

n

"Of course, her.

" Wang Wei was not lying, as he was born with an immense destiny and the tremendous karmic weight that comes with it. The fact she survived his birth is a miracle, and also due to the support of the Dao Opening Sect's Luck and Destiny. But her survival is a testament to her talent, ability, and potential.

nWang Tian exhaled. The atmosphere in the room allowed him to calm down. He knew his wife's capabilities, especially after finding herself and her ambitions. So, he decided there was no need to panic, and he only needed to trust her.

nThe time for the ceremony arrived, and Yu Yan began. She called upon Heaven and Earth respectfully before summarizing her accomplishment of bringing balance between mortals and cultivators; she emphasized how peaceful the world has become because of her actions.

nThe Eye of Heavenly Dao manifested and judged her actions. Then, after she offered the required merit, the latter lowered a Heaven Will to her.

nHmm?

" muttered Wang Wei.

n

"What is it? Is something wrong?

" asked Wang Tian, but his son did not answer. Instead, a powerful and mysterious aura emanated from his body.

n

"Nothing?

" said Wang Wei.

"No, I would not have this weird feeling if it were nothing.

" He no longer hesitated and swallowed an Illusionary Pill, raising his strength to the Empyrean Tier.

n

"Found you, little rat,

" said Wang Wei with a sneer before making a crabbing motion. In his palm were two potent souls condensed into crystals.

n

"Intruders?

" asked Wang Chang.

n

"Yes.

"

n

"Do you know who?

"

n

"He Shiyi,

" replied Wang Wei, who recognized the strange power that was protecting these people from his detection.

"He waited for the perfect time to strike,

" he sneered with a terrifying killing intent that made the room freeze.

n

"What are you going to do?

"

nWang Wei crushed these souls after getting the information he wanted.

"I already planned to attack him and the Commerce Hub after the expansion to the Martial Hegemony World. The plan won't change.

"

nDespite his anger, he knew not to act out of emotions, so he soon calmed down. However, if the Spirit Genesis Sect had a small chance of surviving his wrath before, they no longer had this opportunity.

nWang Wei focused on his mother. As soon as she absorbed the Heaven Will, he felt relieved as she knew she was now under True Heavenly Dao's protection. Now, he only had to wait for the final result.

nHe watched with bated breath as the first flower appeared around his mother, indicating she met the first requirement of 20% Grand Dao Source. Soon afterward, she condensed her Dao Will, and the second flower materialized.

n

"Come on, honey. We're more than halfway done,

" commented Wang Tian as he looked with excitement. He knew the last one was the real hurdle and the one that mattered the most. Then, after what felt like an eternity, the four of them watched the third flower condense, followed by a grand vision surrounding the entire world.

nWang Wei sighed in relief. His eyes saw the truth. If he had not put up that stupid play for True Heavenly Dao, his mother's chances of becoming an Eternal would have been drastically lowered.

n'Life is truly like a game, and you must know the rules and play if you want to reach the top,' thought Wang Wei. There were many things in the cultivation world he was not happy with, for example, the raising Gu method of the Emperor Path. However, he lives by the philosophy that he has to play the game and follow the rules until he can become a rule-maker. Otherwise, if he tries to be special and break the rules while weak, the only fate awaiting him is one worse than death.

n

"Let's go see her,

" said Wang Tian, not hiding his excitement.

n

"No, it's not over yet,

" said Wang Wei, and he was correct.

n

"I am Yu Yan, daughter of Yu Yong and Yun Zhaojun. Today, I have proven the Dao and taken on the title of Eternal Darkness Empress. I am also the first Sage of Merit of this blessed Era.

"

nAs soon as she finished these words, something anomalous occurred. Her vision began to spread throughout the Lower Realm, and her voice echoed throughout most of the lower dimension.

nA golden figure of Yu Yan appeared above Heaven and Earth, and most people in the entire dimension saw the figure. All cultivators instantly knew that a Sage of Merit was born; this was her golden body of merit.

nThe body was pure, noble, and exuded awe and status. Sounds of Sages and profound scholars chanting echoed from it. No matter their cultivation, anyone with an abnormal amount of negative karma could not directly look at the golden figure. After a few minutes, the golden figure fused with Yu Yan's body, granting her many of its attributes.

n

"That's one of the best Tier 1 Golden Body. A little more merit and she can condense a second tier,

" commented Wang Wei with praise.

n

"That's my wife,

" praised Wang Tian.

n

"That's my mother,

" countered Wang Wei.

n

"And that's my daughter-in-law, what's your point?

" added Wang Chang, making the other two speechless.

"Instead of wasting time, let's go see her.

"

nThe charade of

"deceiving

" True Heavenly Dao had to remain for a while, so Wang Wei and the group had to visit Yu Yan in her clan instead of her returning to the Dao Opening Sect. They had a short party for everyone, including Yu Yan's clan, sister, and Wang Wei's cousins.

nFinally, it was the four of them.

n

"Again, congratulations, mom,

" said Wang Wei as he hugged her.

n

"Thanks, honey.

"

n

"Haha, my wife is an Eternal Emperor. How many men can brag about such a thing?

"

n

"Stop saying that. Aren't you embarrassed?

" said Yu Yan.

n

"What? I can't be proud,

" replied Wang Tian before taking a large sip of his wine. He looked at his son,

"Jealous, aren't you?

"

n

"Don't talk nonsense.

"

n

"Honey, the boy is not so fragile. Plus, didn't she basically promise to give him a chance?

" Wang Tian laughed before continuing to drink.

n

"Old man, I won't forget today,

" said Wang Wei with gritted teeth. Instead, he received his father's laughter, followed by his grandfather, who joined in his misery.

nYu Yan was speechless; these people seemed happier than her. The family had a small dinner while drinking, and Wang Wei cooked.

n

"How does it feel to be a sage?

" asked Wang Wei after serving the food.

n

"Great. Everything feels like it will work out.

"

n

"Will that not affect you?

" asked Wang Wei; having such a mindset might be dangerous in the long run.

n

"No, as it's more of a passive afterthought,

" replied Yu Yan.

"Plus, the fusion has strengthened my Willpower, Dao Heart, and state of mind.

"

n

"That's good.

"

n

"Can you use it in battle?

" asked Wang Tian.

n

"Yes. I can summon it as a defensive technique, and it's quite powerful,

" explained Yu Yan.

"But it lacks any attack abilities. I can burn the golden body to increase strength, but that's not recommended.

"

n

"I'm guessing the healing time for that golden body is a nightmare?

" added Wang Tian.

n

"Yes, even worse than the lower class of Emperors.

" Yu Yan shook her head. The amount of time she would need to heal her golden body if she used that secret technique is astronomical.

n

"Any other restrictions?

" continued Wang Tian, slightly intrigued.

n

"I can't amass too many karmic sins, or I will lose it, but despite that, there are no other limits.

"

n

"That's fair,

" nodded Wang Tian.

"Wei'er, you said your mother was close to a tier 2 Golden Body. Do you want to give her the merit for it?

"

n

"I was about to bring that up,

" nodded Wang Wei.

"What do you think?

"

n

"No need,

" replied Yu Yan.

"I have a plan.

"

n

"Do tell.

"

n

"I've been thinking about how to make our turn in the Heavenly Court after Wei'er, and I think I have an idea,

" said Yu Yan before explaining her plan.

n

"I had a similar idea, just for swordsmen,

" added Wang Tian with shining eyes. He looked at his son,

"What do you think?

"

n

"Both those ideas are worthy of patents,

" replied Wang Wei.

"However, Mom, you should do everything possible to prepare the Yu Clan to hold this patent.

"

n

"I will.

"
